Having had several times in the pub, this review is based on a pour at home from a growler I bought today.
Pours a slightly hazy amber orange with a full 2 finger head of thick craggy off-white colored foam that melts to very sticky lacing lasting and lasting to the end of the glass.
Aroma is rich with cascade <?> hops...bright and green and a little sweet malt following it.
Taste is Lightly sweet malt followed by green piney hops that finish to a citrus peel bitterness.
Aftertaste is drying and a combination of sweet and bitter.
Mouthfeel is rich and full for the style.
This may be a more american version of an ESB, but it is so rare to find an ESB well done that the American hop addition giving it a slightly Pacific NW feel just adds to the thirst quenching qualities of this brew.
VERY drinkable session brew.

S: The aroma is somewhat light, but what is there is pretty enjoyable. Hints of toffee and bread with a light grassy hop aroma.

T: Fairly heavy on the bread with a light sweetness in the form of toffee. There's a slight creaminess to this beer that was sort of surprising, but also enjoyable. A very moderate level of bitterness.

M: The body is a bit on the heavy side for an ESB, but still good. Medium carbonation to go with it.

D: Like most US drinkers, I prefer my ESBs more on the bitter side, but this was still pretty good.

I work next door, so I came here on my break and grabbed I pint of this. On to the beer:

Partially pale orange with amber hues in appearance, little lacing is left on the glass as the beer is consumed. In flavor, this ESB has a HUGE diacetyl (butterscotch) taste. There's some caramel with a mild hoppiness towards the back of the palate, but it's pretty much a diacetyl smackdown.

Pours with a proper amber orange hue topped with an instantly vanishing ivory froth. Light aroma but some detectable orange and bready malt. Flavor toes the line with amber red ale aspects that walks the razor sharp edge of ESB-dom with a little hop angle.

Needs a tad bit more biscuit malt backing to firm up the slightly over hopped ESB. Drinkability is quite easy and tasty overall.
